India.arie - Private Party lyrics

[Chorus:] I'm having a private party Ain't nobody here but me, my angels, and my guitar, singin' "Baby, look how far we've come, yeah" I'm havin' a private party Learning how to love me Celebrating the woman I've become, yeah I tried to call my mother, but She didn't get where I was going I called my boyfriend, and he said "Call me back a little later, baby." I hung up the phone, I felt so alone Started to feel a little pity That's when I realized that I Gotta find the joy inside of me [Chorus] I'm gonna take off all my clothes Look at myself in the mirror We're gonna have a conversation We're gonna heal the disconnection I don't remember when it started But this is where it's gonna end My body is beautiful and sacred And I'm gonna celebrate it [Chorus] All my life (all my life) I've been looking for (I've been looking for) Somebody else (else) To make me whole (oh) But I had to learn the hard way (oh) True love began with me (oh) This is not ego or vanity (oh) I'm just celebrating me [Chorus] Sometimes I'm alone, but never lonely That's what I've come to realize I've learned to love the quiet moments The Sunday mornings of life Where I can reach deep down inside Or out into the universe I can laugh until I cry Or I can cry away the hurt [Chorus] Happy birthday to me Happy birthday to me Happy birthday Happy birthday to me (Happy birthday to me, ooo) Happy birthday to me Happy birthday [Chorus x 2]
